Latest Patents

Bendahan is named on 1 patent: “Device for Determining the Abdominal Wall Dynamic Biomechanical Behavior, and a Method Making Use of Such a Device.” The invention describes a device for evaluating or monitoring intra-abdominal pressure, abdominal wall deformations, and the risk of incisional hernia at preventive, pre-operative, or post-operative stages.

The device uses an adjustable, flexible frame with central and lateral areas. A network of sensors attached to the frame measures local deformations or forces on the abdomen, with at least one sensor in each area. Connections link the sensors to a treatment unit, and optional features help position or adjust the device on the abdomen. The patent also describes a system combining the device with a treatment unit, as well as a method for determining a subject’s dynamic abdominal wall biomechanics.
